From the winemaker: "With the purpose of ensuring very high standards to maintain superb quality for our Cornas wines, for our winemaking we handle separately grapes from our youngest vines (less than 10 years old) or those that come from terroirs which are trickier in difficult years."
TASTING NOTES: Strikes a tasty balance between fruit and savory earthiness, with sweet cherry, violet and fresh plum draped in meaty, gamy undertones, white pepper and a salty lick of mineral. Nicely built, though supple and friendly, this has real character and charm.
FOOD PAIRINGS: You could easily pair this alongside dishes like beef stew, braised or grilled meats, grilled vegetables, Mediterranean fare, curries, and beloved weeknight fare like burgers and tacos.
